The Insider

ROMANCE WATCH
Former O.J. Simpson squeeze Tawny Kitaen, early-30s, is now seeing Gen-X comic Jon Stewart, 32, host of the late-night syndicated talk show bearing his name. Although Stewart's rep maintains that his client went on a date with Kitaen "only once, in November," after she appeared on Stewart's talk show, Kitaen's rep says that the two "are dating now and have been since February."

QUARTERS FOR KEVIN

Get out your map to the Homes of the Stars and mark Kevin Costner's bachelor digs, where Richard Dreyfuss once lived as a family man. Costner, who split with wife Cindy last June, recently began renting Dreyfuss's 10,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style house in the Hollywood Hills. Now we hear, from a source close to Dreyfuss, that Costner wants to buy the place.

Dreyfuss, whose own marriage hit the skids back in 1992, put the house up for sale last summer for an asking price of close to $2.9 million. Representatives for both Costner and the real estate agency handling the sale declined comment.

WHOOPI WON'T MILK IT
Whoopi Goldberg won't be joining the growing list of celebs (including Christie Brinkley, Joan Rivers, Naomi Campbell and Lauren Bacall) sporting milk mustaches in ads by the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board. Goldberg had agreed to do an ad, but the offer was rescinded when she mentioned to the milk folks that she was lactose intolerant. "We only wanted real milk drinkers," says Jay Schulberg, creative director at Bozell, the ad agency handling the $52-million campaign. Future ads will feature Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kristi Yamaguchi, Kate Moss and Joan Lunden.

NAYSAYER
Morgan Fairchild called to tell us, forcefully, that she is "incensed" at being paired in this column with the former Prince (PEOPLE, Mar. 13). Although both attended a show at the House of Blues in L.A. last month, and sources who were there continue to maintain that the tiny singer and Fairchild had their heads together and he had his arm around her, she says it absolutely didn't happen. "I had no contact with him. I do not neck with men in public, much less Prince, whom I do not know," she says, adding that she remains happy, thank you very much, with her beau of eight years, film executive Mark Seiler.
